I though I'd start off this new series in my blog by highlighting one of the great historical landmarks in Astoria - one that is still hopping every night.  Bohemian Hall used to be the site of the Czech and Slovak social club - and still is the main watering hole of the Czech/Slovak community in Astoria.  It also hosts the last remaining original Beer Garden in all of New York City.  In addition to the outdoor bar, you can enjoy a fine indoor bar and restraunt featuring a large variety of tasty Czech cuisine (I recomend the goulash - its delish!).  The restraunt area also accepts credit cards (the rest of the establishment is cash only - but there is an ATM for your convience). 

An Astoria favorite for many years, the Gardens are a great place to spend a hot summer night - they usually have some sort of entertainment or summer festival going on to liven up the mood!
